I love these pictures. They are so real and utterly gorgeous. And thirty years later you are still stunning, regardless of what you may or may not think.
After you and Greg left I thought: Oh Lord, they must have been disappointed in me after seeing my carefully selected LJ photos (well, the photos weren't THAT carefully selected, but at least I made sure that the least mingiest went up).
Any gorgeousness you might have seen on your recent visit was my delight in meeting you and Greg. I was so happy!!!!
I hope you don't mind if I say that I absolutely love you and would happily cuddle you all day. Hugging you is so lovely, because you have the softest, warmest, choochiest cheeks. meeting you, I realised that I already knew you, and already loving you, our time together was so comfortable, at least for me.
I just wish that I had been more organised, and that the house had been shinier, with candles burning and flowers, etc. That's what I wanted for you but I was so busy at work and forgot about making time for friends. :(
No, there was definitely no disappointment on mine or Greg's part. You are incredibly beautiful, but I think what captured my attention the most were your eyes. They're incredibly striking and gorgeous. Perhaps some of the beauty was your delight, but I think that most of it was just...you. I think sometimes you don't give yourself the credit you deserve, and you certainly deserve a lot of it

Long before I met you or even knew that I would meet you I wrote about my childhood love for the old American fables, and you thought of me and bought that Johnny Appleseed book for me, planning to one day post it to me.
Sebrina, in our lives there are a handful of great gifts. Rachel's previous boyfriend listened to me one day and cleverly diverted me in order to return to the second hand bookstore where I had seen a childhood book, and bought that book for me. There are so many things to love about Andrew, and that's one of them, and though we are no longer friends, I'll always think fondly of him for his impromtu empathy and sweetness that day.
Your gift is something that I shall treasure all my life. It probably didn't cost much, but the beauty is in the giving and the thought and the pleasure that I will always have in those stories, and of having them gifted by you.
You are lovely and I am so glad that we are family.
I was so young, Nicole. We're all beautiful when we're so young and inexperienced and open.
Photos deceive. I'm probably less attractive than my LJ icons, but I think that what you would see in my eyes is kindness and just general niceness. I'm not ashamed of being nice and kind. I'm not a goody-goody and some of my politics might appear rather harsh. None of us is simple. xxx
I wish you would. I have a feeling that your wedding might have been more stylish than mine, and you might have been (fractionally) more attractive, but, howsomever, BRING IT ON!!!
You were, indeed, pretty - with a handsome husband to boot!
Congratulations.
I always like looking at wedding pictures - but especially ones that are more than 5 years old, back in the day when brides didn't all wear identical dresses!
segh (sorry, don't know how to reference LJ users in comments) and you and I are all of an age, and were all married fairly young, I think. Let's have a gander at yours (Beth has hinted that she might put hers up).
HAhhaa that made me laugh so much! You devil! You looked so lovely, and I was expecting more of the same and then there was the perfect exhausted dad photo and then the indescriblaboublness of that same dad's metamorphosis.
Isn't love grand? And isn't growing older and saggier with one another the bestest thing?

I really should scan in some more of my wedding pics - it might well amuse everyone! However, if you want a start, there is one of them here.

Grow old along with me.
